Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

After that, Beauty Wu got off work every day and had to practice making cakes at home. She felt that she had done well, so she took a photo and posted it on her WeChat Moments, attracting a round of praises. Gradually, the cakes she made became better and better.

Wei Shuyi saw Beauty Wu posting cake photos every day when he entered his WeChat Moments.

Was she learning how to bake?

Without him, her days were pretty good.

Wei Shuyi looked at the hamburger in his hand and felt upset.

On the day of the art festival, the third floor of the Shenhua Entertainment Building was especially lively.

In the hall on the third floor, there were dozens of tables and hundreds of ovens neatly placed. The company only provided flour and ovens for the participating employees. The other tools had to be brought by the participants themselves. Beauty Wu arrived at the scene early in the morning.

She was dressed in an office lady style today. She wore a white shirt paired with a tight black skirt. She wore red stilettos and a chef’s hat with white and black stripes.

She brought milk, coffee, tea, sugar frosting, and other ingredients.

At seven in the morning, a car that was delivering the flour arrived at Shenhua Entertainment. A group of people moved the flour to the temporary compartment on the third floor.

There was quite a lot of flour. There were sixty to seventy bags.

At 8: 30 pm, all the participants queued up according to the order of the competition to collect the flour.

After entering the cubicle, Beauty Wu realized that Pan Jie and the art director were actually responsible for distributing the flour.

“Three pounds.”

“Six pounds.”

“Three pounds.”

When it was Beauty Wu’s turn, she casually glanced at the bag of flour with the words “Dragon River” written on it and said to Pan Jie, who was in charge of distributing the flour, “I might need more. I’m afraid that I’ll fail. Give me eight pounds.”

Pan Jie gave her eight pounds.

Beauty Wu left with the flour and vaguely heard the voices of others behind her.

“I want six pounds.”

“I want two pounds.”

Beauty Wu returned to her workstation and realized that there was a little girl standing there.

Dongli Ao had taken leave to come today. He was wearing a white long-sleeved sweater, a pair of black denim suspenders, and a small hat. He looked especially cute. His small hands were on the table as he watched Beauty Wu knead the flour curiously.

“What cake are you going to make?”

“Fondant Cake.”

“What shape will it be?”

“A really nice shape.”

“What shape is that?”

“You’ll know later.”

Dongli Ao looked at it quietly for a while and he could not help but ask Beauty Wu, “If you’re done, can you give it to me?”

“I can’t.”

“Why.”

“Because I don’t want to.”

Dongli Ao was a little hurt.

He held Beauty Wu’s skirt and begged her softly, “Let me eat it. It’s my birthday today.”

Beauty Wu said, “I don’t believe you.”

Wu Nabing passed away when Dongli Ao was less than a year old. Last month was Wu Nabing’s death anniversary, which meant that Dongli Ao’s birthday had passed.

Seeing that his lie had failed, Dongli Ao was a little discouraged.

Seeing Dongli Ao’s tired expression, Beauty Wu couldn’t bear it. “Do you want to eat it?” she asked Dongli Ao.

“I want to eat it!”

Dongli Ao nodded quickly.

“Then I’ll give it to you when the selection is over.”

“Okay!”

Dongli Ao jumped and ran out of the competition area to find his daddy.

Beauty Wu looked around and did not see anyone else.

She lowered her head and stared at the cake-making tools in front of her. Her gaze became deep.

The competition lasted for five hours. Due to the time limit, the cake that everyone made would not be too complicated, but it could not be too simple either. Gradually, everyone around was finished and looked around competitively.

In the end, Beauty Wu and a male celebrity called Zhou Junyang were surrounded by spectators.

Beauty Wu’s fondant cake gradually took shape. She made a beauty wearing a gorgeous gown and bright pearls. The beauty stood on the cake, her small face was made lifelike by Beauty Wu. Even the smile on her lips could be seen clearly.

As for the man called Zhou Junyang, he was also making a fondant cake. However, he was making a dragon. This dragon’s posture was domineering. It had five claws open and a high dragon head. Its aura was extraordinary.

After Beauty Wu finished cooking, she turned around and looked at Zhou Junyang’s cake. She knew that she would definitely lose.

It was time!

The emcee chose the time for the competition to end. Everyone returned to their seats and stopped talking.

The judges were all non-competing employees. There were more than 500 of them, including Dongli Shenghua and Pan Jie. Their gazes flashed across everyone’s cake. In the end, Dongli Shenghua voted for Zhou Junyang.

He was indeed the boss. He treated everything fairly.

Beauty Wu was not surprised.

On the other hand, Dongli Ao gave his vote to Beauty Wu. Even Pan Jie did the same.

Beauty Wu was a little surprised by Pan Jie’s choice. Seeing that she was surprised, Pan Jie said, “Miss Wu is not a professional. It’s not easy to make such a beautiful cake. Zhou Junyang’s mother is a western pastry chef, and his skills are professional.”

“I see.”

The results were out very quickly.

Zhou Junyang received 109 votes, Beauty Wu 73 votes, and the others received no more than 30 votes. The least number was zero.

Dongli Shenghua personally announced the results of the competition and congratulated Zhou Junyang for winning the championship.

Zhou Junyang was quite excited.

He walked onto the stage and tried his best to maintain his composure. He said a few words to thank the judges before leaving the stage. As the person in second place, Beauty Wu also received a reward of 100 lipsticks from the S family. Beauty Wu was especially happy and went up to the stage to receive the reward.

The third place winner also had a reward of 5,000 yuan in cash.

The art cake competition ended just like that.

Everyone left together. Beauty Wu called Dongli Ao over and gave him all the cake. “For you.”

Dongli Ao stared at the beautiful cake, but he could not bear to eat it.

“It’s so beautiful. Can I not eat it and save it?”

“Cakes are made to be eaten. They’ll spoil if they’re kept for too long.”

“Then I’ll bring it home to eat.”

Dongli Ao held the cake happily.

Beauty Wu stared at his smiling face and lowered her eyes without saying anything.

After everyone had left, Pan Jie asked someone to move the tools away and clean up the hall. Then, another group of people came and moved away the dozens of bags of flour that were not used in the compartment. At this moment, Dongli Shenghua said to Dongli Ao, “Xiao Ao, we’re leaving.”

“Okay.”

“Miss Wu, let me send you back.”

“Thank you.”

Beauty Wu carried her tools and followed behind the two of them.

In the elevator, Dongli Ao kept muttering. He probably said that Beauty Wu’s cake was the best and should be the first. Dongli Shenghua listened quietly to his son’s complaints and did not say anything.

When the elevator was about to reach the first floor, Beauty Wu suddenly spoke.

“Mr. Dongli, how did my aunt die?”

The temperature in the elevator suddenly fell to zero.

Dongli Shenghua looked at Beauty Wu with a malicious gaze. He was a little angry that Beauty Wu was so insensitive to ask such a question at this time. Dongli Ao actually wanted to know how his mother had died. When he heard Beauty Wu’s question, he looked up at Dongli Shenghua.

Dongli Shenghua felt his throat go dry when his son’s bright and curious eyes stared at him.

“I told you before, she died to save me.”

Beauty Wu did not let him off and asked in a sharp tone, “What exactly did you do to be in such a dangerous situation to cause my aunt’s death?”

Dongli Shenghua narrowed his eyes and examined this unfamiliar and aggressive Beauty Wu.

“What are you trying to say?” Dongli Shenghua’s tone was completely cold and stern.

The elevator had reached the first floor and the door was open.

Dongli Ao walked out first and turned around to ask Dongli Shenghua and Beauty Wu, “Aren’t you coming out?”

The two of them looked at each other calmly and walked out of the elevator at the same time.

Standing in the middle of the hall on the first floor, the atmosphere between the three of them was a little tense.

Dongli Shenghua suddenly sneered and said inexplicably, “You already know.”

His tone was not surprising.

Beauty Wu didn’t deny it.

She only asked again, “What you did was too heartless and caused trouble. Someone wanted to kill you, and Aunt died to protect you. Is that so?”

Dongli Shenghua’s lips quivered a few times before he fell silent.

It seemed that the truth was not far from what she had guessed. Beauty Wu looked up at the Dongli Shenghua. He was really good-looking, but his heart was too vicious. “She died for you, but you still don’t know how to repent.” Beauty Wu sighed and asked, “Are you worthy of my aunt’s feelings for you?”

“Miss Wu.” Dongli Shenghua interrupted Beauty Wu. He clearly didn’t want to talk about this topic.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was uncertain.

“Miss Wu, are you not planning to continue pretending?”

“No.”

“Why?” Dongli Shenghua was puzzled. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you if you suddenly point it out at this time?”

“No.” Beauty Wu looked confident.

Dongli Shenghua was stunned and asked subconsciously, “Why?”

“Because…” Before Beauty Wu could finish speaking, she heard footsteps approaching rapidly from outside the door. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. From the sound of it, there should be quite a number of people coming. Beauty Wu tilted her head and looked at the door. She saw Kang Hui in his training uniform and the other brothers of the narcotics team.

Dongli Shenghua also turned his head.

When he saw the familiar face of the city’s narcotics team, his expression turned completely cold.

He was exposed!

He was certain that he had not revealed anything unfavorable to Beauty Wu. How did she know?

At this moment, Dongli Shenghua had resigned himself to fate.

He was not flustered at all. He was even in the mood to laugh and praise Beauty Wu. “I’ve underestimated you.”

Beauty Wu said, “You once said that you should never underestimate women. The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.” She raised her eyebrows, and arrogance was written on her face. She chuckled and said, “These are the words you said to Xiao Ao personally in the dining room. Have you forgotten them so quickly?”

Dongli Shenghua thought of this.

He was even more surprised. “So you knew who I was at that time.”

“Yes.”

“So, you approached me with a goal from the beginning.” After saying that, many things quickly ran through Dongli Shenghua’s mind. The more he thought about it, the calmer his expression became. “So deliberately fighting on the streets and getting fired from the police were all in your plan?”

“Yes.”

“You really know how to make a sacrifice.”
